Lesson overview
Review the abdomen and pelvis through successive anatomical layers. The lesson covers abdominal viscera, peritoneal membranes, retroperitoneal organs, and deeper pelvic structures.
In this VR lesson, Evan describes and demonstrates how the abdomen and pelvis model reveals a wide range of anatomical regions, including the inguinal area, femoral triangle, external female genitalia, gluteal region, anal fossa, and cauda equina. He begins with the anterior abdominal wall, showing its muscles, vessels such as the inferior epigastric artery, and associated membranes.
Deeper layers reveal abdominal viscera , the liver, stomach, and intestines of the foregut, midgut, and hindgut, along with the parietal peritoneum and retroperitoneal or subperitoneal structures like the uterus and bladder.
Further dissection exposes the kidneys, ureters, right common iliac artery, enlarged lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, psoas major muscle, lumbar plexus nerves, inferior vena cava, and common iliac arteries.
Evan also points out kidney calyces and renal pyramids, pelvic arteries including the internal iliac and its branches, as well as deep pelvic structures such as the pelvic floor, sacral plexus nerves, and autonomic fibers.
